The article "Application of Augmented Reality in the Automotive Industry" by Denis Gonzalez-Argote, Adrián Alejandro Vitón-Castillo, and Javier Gonzalez-Argote explores the use of augmented reality (AR) in various aspects of the automotive industry. AR is defined as a technology that enhances the real environment with digital information, making it particularly useful in assembly, maintenance, inspection, and training tasks. The study reviews 20 articles from Spanish and English databases, focusing on the benefits and applications of AR in the automotive sector.
Key findings include:
- AR's potential as an interactive and intuitive interface, providing operators with the right information at the right time and place.
- Its positive impact on production levels and quality, especially when used in a balanced environment between automated processes and human control.
- Applications in logistics design, assembly, maintenance, evaluation, diagnosis, repair, inspection, quality control, training, and marketing.
- The use of portable devices, such as smartphones and AR glasses, to facilitate the application of AR in industrial settings.
- The growing acceptance of AR in the automotive industry, though its full potential remains to be fully realized.
The authors conclude that while AR offers significant benefits, its effectiveness is influenced by factors such as the quality of implementation, the expertise of users, and the availability of adequate technical support. Despite these challenges, AR is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and safety in the automotive industry.The article "Application of Augmented Reality in the Automotive Industry" by Denis Gonzalez-Argote, Adrián Alejandro Vitón-Castillo, and Javier Gonzalez-Argote explores the use of augmented reality (AR) in various aspects of the automotive industry.
